Mixed Media

I am taking a mixed media class at the Southwest School of Arts and Crafts. The school is located downtown San Antonio and it used to be an Ursuline School during the 1800s. Now, it operates a great selection of art departments and complete with its original kitchen where they prepare a delicious chicken salad sandwich (well, that is my favorite and I stick to it). You may go here for more information.
You have to love a school that offers free classes for children with access to great facilities and instructors. I can't wait for my little ones to get a bit older so they can start their programs.

Happy New Year!

A bit late on the wishes but hearfelt. I have been pretty busy with the kids being sick during November and part of December and then I had to get sick with a bad bronchitis and ear infection.
I am fine now and healthy but a bit pregnant so I do not feel that healthy. I do not know why they call it morning sickness since in all my pregnancies it has been pretty much all day and night sickness. Yes, I even wake up during the night with terrible nausea.
Oh, but I may confess I am so excited to see my tummy get bigger every month. Nothing like pregnacy to make a woman feel so close to divinity. To be such a direct extention of The Creator.
For me the problem starts after the pregnancy, then I do not feel so divine. More like the bottom of the barrel.


I was also busy all December getting myself a few things on ebay, mainly magazines. I found Needlecraft magazine issues from the early 1900s till the 1930s and I am sure I own at lest half of what they put out there. I just loved them. They are full of embroidery, tatting and crochet patterns. They have hundreds of pictures of clothing and house designs that I feel very tempted to design women and children's aprons as well as other articles inspired by all what I see. And I can even imagine a few vintage style bibs.
